Hanford MacNider Is Guets of Douglas County Legion -- Former Commander of Na tional Organization Warns Menace to Democratic Government. *‘Our country is not young in her government, as compared to other nations of the world,” decalred Han ford (Jack) MacNider, Mason City, la., former national commander of the American Legion, speaking to 600 members of Douglas county post No, 1 Thursday night at a banquet in Hotel Fontenelle, commemorating tlie eve of tho sixth anniversary of the en trance of the United States into the world war.* “The democratic government of America today is older than that of any of the great nations of the earth. The forms of administration in those countries have undergone radical changes since this nation was born, a little over 100 years ago. England at that time was governed by an abso lute monarchy; today her king Is J figurehead and the people rule. France has been a monarchy and a republic several times during the same space of time? The government of Italy has passed from a king to a handful of patriotic directors. Aus tria, Hungary, Turkey, China, Mexico. Japan, Russia and the countries of South America have ail changed their system of government and slowly, but as BUrely, are molding It to fit the precepts laid down in the construction of our own United States. "\\ e showed them the way 100 years ago. America today stands a veteran in its govern ment. a monument amid the wreck of Gillen monarchies and broken dynasties.” In his forceful, magnetic, way, M1-. MaeNider preached the gospel of the American Legion and explained the duty of its members. “The man in >his country who is sowing the seeds of discord, race and class enmity, is out of place as an American and should be deported. All of us realize the condition as it ex isted six years ago; today a situation equally difficult confronts us, and we must help solve the problem by influencing public opinion into the right channels.” t According to llird Stryker, post commander, the banquet was one of the largest ever held in Omaha for any occasion. The ballroom was crowded and tho overflow was seated in private dining rooms. Gaiety and hilarity marked every minute of th^ evening's entertain ment. Jokes, ^uips and catcalls re sounded whenever some member at tempted to effange his position in the room or made a remark. The guests at the speakers' table included Hird Stryker, chairman; Elizabeth Bradford, head of the nurses' division; Allan Tukey, past commander; Colonel Upton of the Sev enth army corps area; Walter Byrne, past commander; Father Lloyd Hoi sapple, post chaplain; Col. ,T. H. Hop kins. Eighty-ninth division; Basil Hanford MacNlder. Brewer, general manager of The Oma ha Beo, and M. E. Head of the veter ans’ bureau, St. Louis, Mo. Legion orchestra played during the dinner and Agnes Britton sang. The West sisters also offered several musical numbers. The Canadian Northwest' Veterans’ band were guests of the post and played a few numbers. "We are glad to be back among our buddies, those people to the south of us, whom we respect and admire at all times but whom we grew to love during the days across,” said Fran cois Vernon, manager of the hand after he was able to be heard above the applause. “We are glad for two reagons. Firstly, because both you and we think the same thoughts, and secondly, because tho war welded a feeling between you and us which years can not sever.” Mr. Stryker, in acknowledging tho compliment said that he was sure the feeling in all American legion posts towards Canada and its part in the conflict was the same as the largest organization of war veterans in tho United States, Douglas county post. A similar dinner will be given on the evening of November 10, the eve of the anniversary of the signing of the urmistice. Rail Official Resigns Chicago, April 6.—T. H.
